apostiller

to apostille

Usage

A legal/administrative verb meaning to add an official annotation or certification to a document — most commonly encountered today in the context of the apostille, the international certification that authenticates documents between countries party to the Hague Convention.

Examples
  • Ce diplôme doit être apostillé pour être reconnu à l'étranger.This diploma must be apostilled to be recognized abroad.
  • La préfecture apostille les actes destinés à certains pays étrangers.The prefecture apostilles documents intended for certain foreign countries.
  • Il faut faire apostiller son acte de naissance avant de l'envoyer.You need to have your birth certificate apostilled before sending it.
